Neat, a new group. Any reason you guys didn't want to put on a Saturday presentation for EUGLUG? Is the subject area of that group divergent? (ie, more MS-heavy, or simply all-inclusive?) Is it really only meant for IT professionals, or do you also welcome wanna-be's, students, etc? Is it an anti-ranting group?
Thanks in advance for the info, and for setting up this group. Just seeking some clarifications... we used to have nice informal lunch meetings, which didn't include presentations but plenty of ad-hoc discussion on the state of IT, professional-environment steam-blowoff, etc. I miss that :) Also - who are the founders you mention. As feedback, it comes across that the discussions were somewhat private, closed-door affairs, since I've been doing IT in this area for over 5 years now and hadn't heard of the group or your discussions until now. On the flip side, it is nice, frankly, so see that you've established some organization, instead of yet another call for interest that doesn't bear any fruit ;) thanks, ben On 2/27/07, Quentin Hartman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I've always felt that there was something missing in the IT community in Eugene. There just wasn't a good way for anyone involved with IT in the area to connect with others ho are facing similar professional challenges. Over the past year I've been discussing this with other IT professionals in the area, and recently we decided to do something about it. We're starting a regular monthly gathering for IT professionals in the area. Meetings are the THIRD TUESDAY of every month, and our first meeting is Tuesday, March 20. More information on upcoming meetings, mailing lists, etc is available at itproforum.org. Since our meetings are based around having a speaker on some technical topic related to IT, we're always on the lookout for interested speakers. We're not a dues collecting organization, so we can't pay you an honorarium or even cover travel expenses. But I, or one of our other founders, would be happy to feed you and put you up for a couple days. Please email me directly if you'd be interested in giving a talk. Please forward this information to anybody who you think might be interested. -- -Regards- -Quentin Hartman- _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
